Song Order and Info for Thursday 7/3/25
Thank you all for a great rehearsal. We sounded so great that it was hard to cut any songs from our list. We made some choices at rehearsal, however after some discussion, we decided to beg DCI for a little more playing time. And they agreed!
So the song list is as follows:
Boogie Shoes
Blinding Lights
I'm Still Standing
Butter
Tusk
Let it Be/Hey Jude
Chameleon
Lil Boo Thang
Confident
Louie, Louie
Then after a brief break, The National Anthem.
Reminder for Thursday:
Uniform is your full band uniform (teal shirt, white pants, white shoes and your white hat. Auxiliary units see your captains for uniform specifications).
Call time is 6:45pm in the industrial parking lot outside the stadium (see attached map). This is where they are sending their overflow parking. Since likely at 6:45 they won’t be using it yet it is the best place for everyone to park and to meet in the lot.
Once we are settled in the lot, we can warm up a bit here. At about 7:15pm we will walk together over to the stadium field (prop section of attached map). At about 7:30pm we will be escorted onto the field by drum corp staff. Because they are giving us a bit more playing time, we need to walk with purpose and get set up.
Once announced we will begin our set of just over 20 minutes. After we finish Louie, Louie, we will remain on the field in place. At 8:00pm they will begin the official opening of the show and then announce the National Anthem. We will play the National Anthem and then exit the field as we are escorted.
Once we exit the field you are welcome to stay or go. If you want to go back to your car, drop off your stuff then come back, you are welcome to do so.
If you are planning to stay and enjoy the show you will be given a general admission ticket. This ticket will get you into the general admission area. They are not saving seats for us but I have been assured that there will be plenty of room for you to sit. If you have family or friends joining you they need to purchase their own tickets. Your friends and family are able to save you a spot if they wish. Gates open at 6:30pm. More information can be found here: https://www.dci.org/events/2025-northwest-youth-music-games-portland/
Thanks again for making this performance happen. See you all on Thursday.
